    《 .... reading Bacon’s “Faber fortunae,” which the oftener I read the more I admire. 》

    What a lovely sentence construction ("the oftener I read it"). And a fine sentiment it is, too.

    Naturally, we check out Francis Bacon (Of Fortune): "If a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible."

    Oh yes, I can see how this speaks to our Samuel.
